Half-day at Zhenru Temple

If you have a half day to allot for a sight-seeing of temple in Shanghai, try to go to Zhenru Temple in Putuo District. It's easy to go to by metro. Just go to Zhenru Station at Line 11, and walk for a few minutes. Below is the route we took to go to the temple from the station (in red) and the way back to the station, we passed by the opposite side (in blue) to explore some places in the Zhenru Ancient Town.

Zhenru Temple is at Lanxi Road.

Ok, so ang bobo ko, I'm blogging but the pictures are in my phone so I can't post pictures for now. Tinatamad pa ako mag-transfer. Haha!

But basically, it has the same features as any temple. But unfortunately, we went there while they are having a renovation so some parts are covered with scaffoldings. But we were still able to access the essential parts of the whole area. We even made this ritual wherein if you want to wish for something, you revolve the metal figures just outside the temple, all 108 of them for 3 times. So 324 times kang magpapaikot ng metal figurines. I can't explain much of how it works unless I post a picture. Haha!
